Riverbend

Paula Deen's luxurious waterfront home (which she dubbed Riverbend) is located in the marshes of Savannah, Georgia. Originally listed in May 2015 for $12.5 million, the asking price has since dropped by nearly $4 million to $8.75 million — a pretty precipitous drop no matter how you look at it.
